National, The - Nobody Else Will Be There Lyrics






You said we're not so tied together
What did you mean?
Meet me in the stairwell in a second
For a glass of gin

Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there

Can you remind me the building you live in
I'm on my way
It's getting cold again but New York's gorgeous
It's a subway day

Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there

Why are we still out here?
Holding our coats
We look like children
Goodbyes always take us half an hour
Can't we just go home?

Hey baby, where were you back there
When I needed your help?
I thought that if I stuck my neck out
I'd get you out of your shell
My faith is sick and my skin is thin as ever
I need you alone
Goodbyes always take us half an hour
Can't we just go home?

Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there
Nobody else will be there then
Nobody else will be there

    When I need to calm down, I lie down on the carpet, put my headphones on, my dog lies down too and puts his head on my chest and I listen to this song on repeat. He falls asleep and I am calmer than ever. It kinda became a ritual.

    This is exquisite music.

  26. C.... b....

    Matt dad dancing

  28. I.... L....

    Perfection ❤

  29. C.... C....

    Of everything I've ever found on YouTube, a studio version of this song isn't one of them...... why?

  30. O.... R....

    What a lyrics and interpretation. A totally eargasm.

  31. G.... ....

    what a tease, the trumpet player never played !

  32. R.... T....

    Matt berninger is living in the 22nd century already with dad moves like that.

  33. �.... �....

    Ребята, вы классные!)))

  34. K.... M....

    invisible guitar <3 :)

  35. J.... W....

    The National are one of only a couple of reasons that I keep going on.

  36. T.... S....

    I liked the way they started one of their gigs at Manchester Apollo in September 2017 with this song (and presumably for many other shows around that time too), in obviously this very low key manner, which made quite a change from other shows I've been to, where bands often start at full throttle - wonderfully understated.

  37. J.... W....

    Best album ever!!!!

  38. V.... T....

    what a sound they have! So underrated!

  39. M.... k....

    I meant please prove me opposite..

  40. m.... r....

    Sweet Jesus, how fucking good is this ?

  41. c.... a....

    Brilliant. I

  42. J.... W....

    Love this song, love this band.

  43. m.... r....

    Where is the drummer 😡😡😡

  44. C.... W....

    Inspired, straight to the heart.....

  45. J.... ....

    Truly one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard

  46. S.... T....

    The National are my surrogates for the love-life I don't have.

    S.... T....

    Scott Teresi me too

  47. A.... a....

    They seem to be referring to their drummer here.

  48. j.... J....

    absolute dog banana

  49. g.... ....

    It’s a subway day

  50. P.... S....

    Guys !! Fucking amazing song.. Gives me the chills every time..

  51. P.... O....

    Anyone know what drum machine they use for this?

  52. R.... A....

    Just fucking beautiful

  53. m.... R....

    You said we're not so tied together
    What did you mean?
    Meet me in the stairwell in a second
    For a glass of gin

    Nobody else will be there then
    Nobody else will be there
    Nobody else will be there then
    Nobody else will be there

    Can you remind me the building you live in
    I'm on my way
    It's getting cold again but New York's gorgeous
    It's a subway day

    Nobody else will be there then
    Nobody else will be there
    Nobody else will be there then
    Nobody else will be there

    Why are we still out here?
    Holding our coats
    We look like children
    Goodbyes always take us half an hour
    Can't we just go home?

    Hey baby, where were you back then?
    When I needed your hand
    I thought that if I stuck my neck out
    I'd get you out of your shell
    My faith is sick and my skin is thin as ever
    I need you alone
    Goodbyes always take us half an hour
    Can't we just go home?

    Nobody else will be there then
    Nobody else will be there
    Nobody else will be there then
    Nobody else will be there

  54. f.... 0....

    2:43 "Hey baby"

    You're welcome.

    f.... 0....

    ehh. The moment's less satisfying without the rest of the song as buildup.

  55. F.... D....

    Breaking Bad's final season's Walter White is pretty damn great at singing!

  56. A.... F....

    so good. so so so good

  57. M.... P....

    Matt is the shit!!! "He's put together beautifully, big red 🌹 in his mouth"

  58. D.... S....

    fucking hell

  59. P.... D....

    ... nice work

  60. A.... S....

    Neta la mejor banda q he escuchado y pensar q te descubrí en el fifa 19 🤩

    A.... S....

    Yo apenas les pillé en 2017... y me engancharon también.

  61. M.... ....

    these guys play nothing but depressing songs.

  62. W.... S....

    He’s like bono

  63. W.... R....

    აუ, მეთ, ჩაგეხუტები რა.

  64. h.... b....

    I lost it in the very beginning and never found ever since he said “hey baby...”. The most beautiful song ever. I wouldn’t mind getting lost in it forever

  65. B.... N....

    The emotions that this band have on me...

  66. B.... C....

    yep ....fixed in stone here ...

  67. S.... A....

    It's hard to create a sound with so much passion and fullness as y'all have with this song. There's so much emotion that it makes me want to cry and fist bump at the same time, especially as the bridge to the ending verse. I can honestly say that I've listened to this track list straight since February and I'm just now starting to to hear some of these songs for the first time. Amazing CD, amazing sound. Thanks to Grey whale here in SLC for introducing me to you all.

  68. A.... L....

    The first time I heard this song, i was on a plane going to Spain, so get that feeling every time I listen it again

  69. A.... L....

    I absolutely love The National and especially this song but hate Matt's hand tick during this set. Amanda Marshall used to do that - looked as if she was Jillling-off during a performance.

  70. R.... N....

    glass of gin

  71. g.... ....

    Heeey baby

  72. S.... V....

    Restraint is so much a part of their technique. Even when the song breaks out in "hey baby," it is subdued, almost embarrassed and secretive in tone. No bands today employ this purposeful de-intensifying to such effect.

    S.... V....

    Great description

    S.... V....

    I agree, but The XX. Chronically understated

    S.... V....

    I think it is the space between the notes. These folks know this more than most today!

    S.... V....

    Most beautiful part of the "Hey Baby" is that it comes after this long pause, as if he's tentatively pondering if he should call her baby again or if they're too far gone...

  73. d.... ....

    the best band in america right now

  74. L.... E....

    Hey baby

  75. J.... W....

    No Body Else need know about, any other band.

  76. A.... ....

    This song is so damn New York.

  77. J.... L....

    dude this version is the best

  78. D.... B....

    Every time I hear those opening notes on the piano, it takes me straight back to the first time I heard their last album. And the shiver this song gave me. I was wondering how the hell anything on the album was going to top this? And nothing does. Goosebumps every time. In a career of massive, massive creative highs, this is right up there with their greatest moments. *slams fist into chest where heart roughly is*

    D.... B....

    not forgetting the grammy ;)

    D.... B....

    It's visceral the way this song cuts you to the core.. It's so beautiful and sad and powerful

  79. J.... W....

    These guys always make me feel so sombre. I love them so much but they always have the ability, to make me cry. In a good way. The best of ways.

  80. J.... S....

    An amazing piece of music

  81. G.... E....

    Mark Gatiss has let himself go.

  82. T.... P....

    Bardzo fajna piosenka😃

  83. M.... L....

    The trumpet guy from Beirut!!! :-D

  84. J.... W....

    Matt is a genius.

  85. N.... ....

    Way better than the original album record.

  86. J.... W....

    Oh my God I love this.

  87. f.... ....

    Lol he did the same thing at his concert yesterday where he would use the instrumental parts to walk back to his drink and sip it, except at yesterdays concert it wasn't a non-alcoholic beverage because he was half way to hammered. So he was drunk enough to the point where you could see he was drunk and it was amusing, but he could still perform amazingly.

    Near the concert he said this concert was like one of his dreams where he would be playing in a vineyard and lots of people were there, it was a beautiful day and he looked "fucking awesome".

    f.... ....

    I love how he always has some red wine within reach when they play live.

    f.... ....

    Some? Whole bottles 😅😅😅

  88. f.... ....

    The first song they played at their amazing concert yesterday. I loved it.

  89. G.... M....

    They are so incredibly lovely

  90. E.... P....

    The National can save your soul

    E.... P....

    it can, it has

  91. N.... J....

    Still going mighty strong. I think this is the best recording of this song that there is. I love it when a band you love doesn't just die and get worse and worse. Gives you hope.

  92. T.... M....

    Kyle Resnick is very supportive second voice of Matt. They should sing more together

  93. T.... M....

    Perfect audio quality, thank you

  94. s.... ....

    is there any chance to get this band to indonesia?

  95. D.... B....

    I’ve been a fan for so long, and their catalogue is so vast, but I genuinely think this might be their greatest moment.

    They’ve basically become the band that R.E.M. were at that point when R.E.M. we’re unstoppable. Stepped in their shoes and gone next level.

    What. A. Song. And this live version is absolute killer.
